while i do enjoy taking pictures,\u00a0i don’t fancy myself much of a photographer and am never quite sure what to do with all the photos i’ve taken on my trips. for the past couple of years i’ve been too lazy to postprocess any of my shots, so they just pretty much all get dumped up to Flickr<\/a>\u00a0straight from the camera. a while back, though, i signed up for a 500px account<\/a> and added some photos and forgot about it. it languished for months but i was recently reminded of the site.<\/p>\n

500px is the self-styled “Premier Photography Community” and i’ve been way too intimidated by the quality of the photography on there to participate but i figured what’s the worst that can happen? i get no likes. the end. no skin off my back, right?<\/p>\n

so, i \u00a0picked some photos i thought were good, ran ’em through the ol’ Photoshop, and uploaded. the response so far has been quite overwhelming for me — i didn’t expect any favoriting or comments but so far two photos [sunset and weaver] have reached Upcoming status and one [the tunnel] has passed Upcoming to Popular! not bad for a total amateur, if i don’t say so myself! (p.s. if those are easy levels to achieve, don’t tell me and let me continue basking in my imagined glory.)<\/p>\n

here are the photos i uploaded in this batch (many of which you probably saw before on this blog, though unretouched), and i guess i’ll keep using 500px as a sort of showcase of some of my favorite (or best?) pictures.<\/p>\n
